UAE Driving Licence for Residents: Three Packages

We coordinate UAE driving licence processing directly with a licensed driving school. Residents can choose from three clearly priced packages: one exam for AED 11,000, two exams for AED 9,000 or a document-based route without exams for AED 17,500.

Who the service is for

The offer is designed for UAE residents, including clients who previously completed a Nomad visa or another residence route. A UAE driving licence makes daily travel, work meetings, family logistics and journeys between the emirates easier. Instead of one universal format, the service offers three packages with a fixed list of stages, exams and practical training.

Package 1: one exam

Package 1 costs AED 11,000 and takes 10–14 days. The applicant does not take a theory exam. The package includes four hours of practical training with an English-speaking instructor and the final RTA Road Test in city traffic.

  • No theory exam
  • Four hours of practical driving
  • English-speaking instructor
  • Final RTA Road Test
  • Price: AED 11,000
  • Timeline: 10–14 days

Package 2: two exams

Package 2 costs AED 9,000 and takes 10–14 days. It includes the English-language theory exam, four hours of practical driving and the final RTA Road Test. This package has the lowest price among the three options.

  • Theory exam in English
  • Four hours of practical driving
  • Final RTA Road Test
  • Price: AED 9,000
  • Timeline: 10–14 days

Package 3: no exams

Package 3 costs AED 17,500 and takes 10–15 days. It uses a document-based route through the consulate of another country, including the required stamp, legalisation and MOFA attestation. There is no theory exam, road exam or RTA visit. The applicant only completes an eye test, which costs AED 140 and is paid separately.

  • No theory or road exams
  • No RTA visit
  • Documentation route through another country’s consulate
  • Legalisation and MOFA attestation
  • Eye test: AED 140, paid separately
  • Price: AED 17,500
  • Timeline: 10–15 days

Original Emirates ID for Package 3

Several days before the driving licence is collected, the client must provide the original Emirates ID. We confirm the handover timing in advance so the document is available at the required stage and returned after the procedure.

How to choose a package

Package 1 suits clients who want to avoid the theory exam but are ready for practical preparation and the final road test. Package 2 is the most affordable option and includes both theory and road exams. Package 3 is designed for clients who prefer a document-based procedure without exams and are ready to complete consular legalisation, MOFA attestation and the separate eye test.

How the process is organised

After the client chooses a package, we provide the checklist and coordinate the next steps with the licensed driving school. For Packages 1 and 2, this includes practical lesson scheduling and the required exams. For Package 3, the focus is on the consular and MOFA document chain, the eye test and timely provision of the original Emirates ID.

Role of Hello Emirates and the driving school

Hello Emirates explains the packages, coordinates communication and keeps the stages in the correct order. Practical instruction, examinations and regulated driving-licence procedures are handled by the licensed driving school, RTA and the relevant public bodies.
